Spirit-forward with subtle notes of apricot, cherry, lemon and zesty citrus. Despite the inclusion of lemon juice, this cocktail is intended to be stirred (not shaken).

This one, for me, is a five star favorite. Liking the subtle balance of all the fruit flavors! Just made again with Three Stars, Luxardo maraschino, Rothman apricot 10ml as Peter suggests below and it did not disappoint. Still a five!

Not sure if this requires Bacardi, as the name maybe implies but with Plantation 3 Stars, I couldn't pick out any of the Rothman Apricot I used. An extra 2.5 ml helped out but even then I could smell it more than I could taste it. Luxardo really dominates sometimes.
